If you have an urgent dental problem such as severe pain, swelling, infection, bleeding, trauma, or any condition that requires prompt attention, please contact the practice directly so our team can assess your needs and arrange appropriate care.
Urgent dental care is intended for serious issues that may require treatment within 24 hours or within 7 days, depending on the nature of the problem. We provide urgent NHS appointments for both our regular patients and for patients who are not currently registered with a dentist.
We have a limited number of NHS urgent care appointments available each week in line with NHS contractual requirements. Please contact the practice to check availability. If we are unable to offer an urgent NHS appointment, we will help direct you to alternative local urgent dental care services, including NHS 111.
If you require urgent dental advice or treatment outside of our normal opening hours, please call 111 or visit 111.nhs.uk.
We will examine you to discover the source of the pain and talk you through your options so you can be fully in control of the next steps at our emergency dentist in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
If you get in touch with us about an emergency appointment, we will aim to:
We treat you as we would like to be treated: compassionately and with respect.
